The 2026 Golden Globe Awards are a wrap!
Across the awards show’s many categories in film and television, Billboard of course paid special attention to the two music categories: best original song and best original score. There was a lot of star power in the song category, but in the end, the eight-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Golden” — performed by HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI) for the Netflix animated powerhouse KPop Demon Hunters — came out on top.
The massive hit had competition from Miley Cyrus’ “Dream as One” from Avatar: Fire & Ash, which was written by Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson and Simon Franglen; Miles Caton’s “I Lied to You,” written by Raphael Saadiq and Ludwig Göransson for Sinners; Cynthia Erivo’s “No Place Like Home” written by Stephen Schwartz for Wicked: For Good; Ariana Grande’s “The Girl in the Bubble,” also written by Schwartz for the Wicked sequel; and Nick Cave’s title track from Train Dreams, which Cave co-wrote with Aaron Dessner.
